Skippy
by So I finally got my chincilla on Friday night. He's just a little baby-only 2 months old, but he's the softest thing ever. I absolutely love him. He's a little skiddish but a lot less than I thought he would be. He loves to get on the couch and run around and jump all over me and Andrew-his a mischievious little character. And surprisingly (seeing as he hates the bird and fish), Andrew seems to like him very much and plays with him a lot. I don't have a pic of him but the page on the link below shows a chincilla on top that looks like mine.

oh man those things are so cute - congrats on your new bebe
You should bring it to my place to play with Donovan's guinea pig. It'd be like two balls of fur running up and down the hall.
HOW CUTE!!!! post a pic of yours as soon as you can! man, now i want one!!
congrats to your new addition to your little family! =)
skippy is the name of my dog. And it's what i call all dogs regardless of their name, so that's how she got hers...
yeah skippy is a pretty general term i like to use too, so i figured i might as well. it just seems to fit him too
they lied. it's a mouse

im going to guess and say its short for homogenized?
also notice that there's "HETERO" colors as well.
ok i found it:
homozygous
adj : having identical alleles at corresponding chromosomal loci; "these two fruit flies are homozygous for red eye color"
heterozygous
adj : having dissimilar alleles at corresponding chromosomal loci; "heterozygous for eye color"
but i dont know what it means. at all.
they're all just a bunch of homo's to me.
i want to know what it means! for real! anyone know?
I think perhaps you're looking for homogeneous? A group or selection of things that have a common trait. Similar in nature.
You can have heterogeneous and homogeneous items
OH MY GOODNESS THEY ARE SOOOO STINKIN ADORABLE
ugh -shudder- it scares me
There isn't much that I'm afriad of, but I don't think I'd wanna even HOLD one of those things, not for a second. Let alone OWN one. They're cute, but kinda gross.
They look alien. This is what I imagine a "whomp-rat" from Star Wars looks like.
they are rodents...
do you call Skippy your "homo-chinchillian friend"?
well i will now...
I think it means that homozygous has the same gene on both the maternal and paternal chromosones, and hetero means it has a different gene on each chromosone. this information is useful for breeding. Say you had two homozygous blue (male and female), then all their children would be homozygous blue. If you had two heterozygous blue and we assume the blue is a recessive gene, then a child would have a 1/4 chance of being blue (homozygously) (If its a dominant gene then 3/4 would be blue - 1/2 heterozygous blue, 1/4 homozygous blue).
you mean i can get a chinchilla in pink?? WOW i'm SO wanting one now!!!
haha i didn't even realize that. you would think homo colors would be the pinks?
nah...purple or rainbow maybe
haha i didn't even realize that. you would think homo colors would be the pinks?
I always thought Homo Ebony was a magazine for gay black people.
hmm that would taste great grilled and on a hamburger bun
hm, not much meat-mostly fur
Hahahahaha....there's a link on there that says "Chinchilla Den"....and I thought it said "Chinchilla DAN."
Hahahahahahhahahaha....sorry Dan. :)
listen when it dies can we make socks out of it...
